Thursday, Taxes are in!!!!

 

The taxes are in and I am over the moon about this little (big) event! I sat down this morning after my early doctor appointment and did them.  Then between bridal fittings I took them to the accountant. Now I wait.

Mom's estate has so much paperwork.  She had many small investments, and stocks, and insurance policies besides the sale of the home. Every different policy has paperwork to fill out and return and a lot of it is buggy and hard to understand.  All of us are not signing at least one thing wrong on every account. I feel sorry for her estate planner. 

We all live so far apart also. One in Florida, one in Ohio, one in southern Idaho, one in the estate planner's city and then me up here in the pan handle. It is not like he can sit us all down and just get it all done. Every day I am pulling forms off the internet, signing and returning. So happy I am not the executor.

I sewed almost all day on a ball gown wedding dress.  The one I was complaining about taking three hours to rip the horsehair braid. Well, it was about 3 hours to get it all put back on, I thought I would never finish.

After that I started on another dress, and I need to do some alterations on it and call bride to come in so I can mark the hem. I have that dress ripped and ready to go.

Sissie is really keeping up with all the little stuff.  Hurrah!

Had a wedding dress picked up this morning and another will be picked up tomorrow. But another will be dropped off today so there is no real catch up this time of year. But I feel so far ahead of the game right now and it is a lovely feeling.

I cannot believe March will be here this weekend. So, the two longest months of the year to me are almost over. March will bring spring, and I can get outside more. Yeah!

Now ya'll pray I don't owe a fortune in taxes.  We were always so poor we never owed.  But after Joel died, I started to owe.  That does not even make sense to me.

God is good
